Ian… you are up. I can’t attend.

Could I please be added dependent on the date in September. Would need to adopt please.

I am guessing this tasting will be pre-summer. If it doesn’t happen for any reason until the autumn I would hope to be able to attend and have a Tappit Hen of the standard Six Grapes which I would be happy to throw into the mix.

Not had a stella GM79 yet but hopefully they will be good.

However, the Mackenzie 55 is normally another very yummy Port! It would make for a good tasting alongside the FG76… possibly with a Dow 80 added to provide the Baga team, to go against another 55/76/80 trio.

Eight absolutely top draw Ports… good work!

Highly doubtful I will be able to make any dates in May or the near future so could I please be taken off the list and free up a spot.

Glenn maybe able to advise but I believe the US seems to get the years we don’t. I think 2005/6 were released the other side of the pond… but may have misremembered that.

Sounds good… thank you Alex, please count me in.

I thought the 2016 Bioma to be stunning but a very different style to all the others. To take a French wine analogy all the other 2016s I tasted were a Bordeaux style, while the Bioma was Burgundy like. Very different… unique and lovely!

Will be online as soon as I can after 18.30 when I have finished Zac’s bathtime!

I am a big fan of English wines but I think it is a worry if we try and impress others as to the quality of our home wines with Chapel Down Bacchus.

I will get some white signs ready to communicate with a la Love Actually

I got everything I asked for from Harvey Nicks. Very happy. Were you the buyer of the 1940 Graham? If so, I am delighted it went to someone who will love the wine. Was there just one on offer? I thought Neil gave a nod and a wink on the 1940… and George filled up on some port as well as some fine U...

Your attendance is required at my 80th in 2052 so please do your best to make it…

Have tasted it 3 times but not since 2018. My impression for what it is worth is that it is quite tannic and will last a long time… so 2053+ although I hope to enjoy one on my 80th in 2052

I hope to watch/stream/participate on the night.

Hope to be able to volunteer for the morning as can travel up the day before without issue.

Reluctantly it looks like I need to bow out of this auspicious occasion. It was 50/50 but is now complicated by the landslide on the tracks in Basingstoke meaning no direct trains from Weymouth to London and a significant reduction in services. I hope the spot gets filled but if there is still space...

Many thanks to the buyers. just the Chryseia left.

yes please, drop me a line and i will sort payment etc

Great. Thanks Harry, will mail you.

Due to some bills and not being open for a while I need to liquidate some stock that I can’t justify holding onto to drink in the current climate. The prices are beneath the going rate but reflect what I need to try and get to make it a worth while exercise. Not sure if there will be any interest fr...

My apologies but I won’t be able to make this tasting now.

My apologies but I will not be able to make this now.

Provisionally yes please. Have no magnums so will need to contribute either a bottle or funds. Need to check which dates in Feb I can definitely do and hope they align with what the RMT allows!
